Chapter 38: Seizing the Commander (What's wrong with being ordinary?)
My parents were working because they raised fish and some livestock themselves and did not come back. My grandmother pulled me into the door and kowtowed in front of the ancestors and clans. Wei Wei trembled and scented the incense before knelt down with me.
"Ancestors, Jiuer is back, and his achievements are not inferior to any of you. The Mo family's nine generations are single-passing, and each generation is better than the previous generation. Now there are people who follow up."
She spoke excitedly.
Until today, I realized that my family had already come into contact with Onmyoji and his ranks a long time ago, which was a bit beyond my expectations.
Because I have never seen them use any Yin-Yang techniques since I was a child. As a famous old doctor in the village, my grandmother has been practicing medicine and doing good deeds all her life since I knew the world.
She helped anyone in the village to cure her illness and never charged any money. As for her father, there was no trace of using Yin-Yang Technique, let alone mother.
She worked diligently all her life and had children, so I was quite shocked that she was a member of the Onmyoji family.
So he asked grandma: "Family, the nine generations are Onmyoji?"
She glanced at me when she heard this and nodded lovingly, "Yes, since your generation every day, the family's ninth generation has been in contact with the Onmyoji industry, but it's your father's generation that has been broken."
"It's broken? Why? My father has no wisdom or what's wrong?" I asked hurriedly.
Onmyoji and his vocational school pay attention to two things, one day’s resources and two wisdom roots. The so-called talent refers to the ability to sense the spirit. Some people cannot sense the spirit in their lifetime, so they cannot practice magic, while wisdom roots refer to a person’s ability to comprehend knowledge.
After all, many things are involved in the Yin-Yang Technique, and a lot of things need to be learned. They are almost a combination of knowledge from a hundred schools of thought without any wisdom. Just memorizing them by rote is simply fantastic.
But my father did not become an Onmyoji, because these two things were missing, but grandma shook her head when she heard this, "Your father, he lacks nothing. Instead, he has high talent and wisdom. It's just that he wants to be an ordinary person and live an ordinary life, so your grandfather did not force him. He originally did not agree to you to follow your grandfather's path, but for some reasons, you had to follow this path."
"The malicious intention of the underworld?"
"There is a part, but not all. Your birth is very special. Did he test your words for you? What are you missing?"
Grandma asked, and I was stunned when she heard this. She said that he should be an old man. As for the word test, she said that the three shortcomings and six disadvantages of practitioners. After following the master, he had never tested it for me, and I was not at ease, so this matter was always on the table.
"No," I shook my head and signaled that the master had not tested the words for me. Grandma put her hand on her and then took my hand back and forth.
First, I frowned, and then I suddenly started to laugh. I didn't know what she was laughing at. I was about to ask, but she signaled me not to speak.
"Jiu'er," she said.
“Yeah, I’m here”
"Would you please promise grandma something?"
"What's the matter? You said"
Grandma stared at me for a long time after hearing this, with a little joy in her eyes, as if she had encountered something good. After a long time, she said, "I promised Grandma, don't test your words by myself for the rest of her life, okay?"
"Hmm? Why? Is something wrong?" I asked hurriedly when I heard this. After testing my own words, I knew what I lacked in three or five. Now my grandma doesn't let me test it, and there must be a reason.
"If something happens, just listen to grandma. Don't test it all your life. Look at my expression, it seems like there is something big about it?" She smiled, looking at her face full of joy. It should be that there is something tricky about my words. Although I don't know, it should be nowhere to go.
Besides, I am not short of money or people, the only thing I don’t have power, but that doesn’t matter. If you have money in the world, you are power. Although money and power are divided, they are basically one.
Since grandma is smiling, it means that what I am missing doesn't matter, and she doesn't let me test it, so there should be her reason in it.
So I nodded and replied, "Well, I'll listen to you, no problem."
Hearing this, she smiled, got up and patted my shoulder, "Get up, let's go to the fish pond and ask your father and your father to get two fish to welcome you!"
Upon hearing this, I hurriedly got up and followed her out. The fish pond they built was not too far away from here. If you walk, you can walk in more than ten minutes.
Grandma said it was a piece of land rented by my father with money, and the fish pond and pig farm were closely attached to each other, which was a system.
After I passed, I saw my father in the fish pond from afar, and my mother brought him something on the shore.
Seeing us coming, my mother glanced at us, then she let go of her hand and hurriedly ran over.
"Jiuwazi, you're back"
My mother rushed over and hugged me. Ten years later, for her, it might be a difficult and enduring pain of longing. After all, the only seedling in my family in my time is half the sky for her.
"I'm back, I'm back!" I hugged her thin body tightly, and almost hugged her and left the skeleton.
She suffered a lot, and was thinner than when she worked in a silk factory before. As for her father, as a man, he maintained the reserve he should have, and just walked up and patted me hard on the shoulder without saying anything, but I could vaguely see the fog in his eyes.
After ten years of leaving, I didn't even give me a message, which was too cruel to them.
"Why are you crying? Good days, this is a good day, how can you cry?" My father spoke carelessly, but his hand holding my shoulder tightened even more.
We stayed like this for a few minutes, and finally my mother let go of me, then glared at my father with dissatisfaction, "What are you still being stunned? Hurry up and catch the two largest fish and make it for Jiuwazi to eat tonight."
"Aoah, go now, go now, go now," my father responded hurriedly. I followed him as soon as he heard this. My mother was going to help, but my grandmother pulled her and said that she was leaving us father and son alone.
After taking the fishing net and the long boots on the boat, we went down the pond and asked, "How long will we stay when we are back this time?"
My father was silent for a long time before suddenly speaking. I was stunned when I heard this. After thinking for a while, I had no answer in my heart.
"I should stay for a long time, after all, there is not much trouble there, come back to accompany you."
"I don't care. Your mother misses you tightly. You spend more time with her. It doesn't matter how much money it costs. It's enough. Grandma also insists on waiting for you to come back. She can see you and feel at ease."
"Grandma?"
"The advanced stage of liver cancer was found out half a year ago. She forced herself to hold on with a secret method. You don't have to be too sad. We are all prepared in our hearts. She said she is tired and wants to go and accompany your grandfather."
My father kept crying from the corners of his eyes as he spoke. I knew he couldn't bear to leave.
"I can………………"
"Jiuwazi, that's your grandmother's choice. We can't intervene. She has been with you for most of her life. Otherwise, she would have left with him the night when your grandfather left. Now that you have grown up and have a bright future, she is at ease. People will die. Even if you have great abilities now, I hope you don't use them when we leave. The Nine Generations of the Mo family have paid too much for the Yin-Yang Technique. I don't want you to follow in the footsteps of our ancestors!"
"This is the reason why you don't cultivate yin and yang."
"Well, I hope to have a simple and happy life, just have a spiritual level? So what about the heaven level? We can save the world, but who can save the incense of the old Mo family? Generations of people go against the will of heaven and pass on one by one from generation to generation. I am afraid that if this continues, the old Mo family will really be defeated."
